Flooding buff? Jeez, that makes another :water / :air insta-kill combo. Reduce the cost for one. It's useless without Flooding.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

Excellent! It's unique.
But as it works for flooding, it is very situational.
Also, the upped hp and the hp on the card do not match.
This could probably be reduced in cost by 1 or 2 for both upped and nonupped.
What do you think you could add to make it less situational?
Option thought up on the spot #1: Deal some damage while moving back rows. Maybe the creature got hit by a flying cow.
It is the greatest mystery of all...

If a card requires a 2+ combo to be useful and if that combo only has 1 option for the other card then the card it far far too situational.
A 2|6 for 5 :air is a really, really poor fighter. Therefore, the only point of Tempest Flyer is using it's ability. Since the only point of using the ability is to kill with flooding, this card is useless without flooding (what, get an EM by pushing an antimattered creature back? that's even more situational) and OP with flooding (insta-kill on a stick for 1 :air is OP).

I suggest raising its attack to 4 in both version, and offset by increasing the skill cost to 3|2. This way it is much less situational, and less OP when combined to flooding.

Reworked the stats:

Unupped-
Cost- Reduced from 5 to 4
Atk/Hp- Changed from 2|6 to 3|5
Ability cost- Increased from 1 to 2 quantums

Upped- Same stats  as above; ability cost is 1 quantum
